This is the first day of a Leslie Scalapino workshop (7-17-1989) on the poetic diary form. She reads excerpts from her book "Way" and "That they were at te Beach." She also reads from "Confessions of Lady Nijo" and heavily references her essay and interaction with "Japanese Court Poetry" and Izumi Shikibu. She reads a piece of her essay referencing Mallarme's "Tomb of Anatole." Additionally, she talks about Steven Benson and their creation of form together and Laurie Anderson's "This is the Time and This is a Record of the Time." The class ends with Leslie requesting that the students write a poetic diary to be workshopped and performed next class. Not part of a series with 89P077, but should have further counterparts still to be located.
